Canadian Shade Part 2

I don't know about Canadians.  I'm sure they're not ALL stupid but their media is pretty biased too so I just don't know for sure...

I don't know about Canadians, but here in the US, we're tired of the whose dick is bigger contest between Trump and Trudeau.

Trudeau needs to stop.  Stop with the insults.  Stop with veiled shade.  Stop going around the US government to make trade deals with individual states.  Stop trying to start a war.

Cuz that's what he's gonna get if he keeps acting a fool.

This isn't a boxing match, Justin.  You don't talk smack to the other guy before the match and walk away all sportsman like after.  You being an asshat affects MILLIONS of people's lives.  It's creating animosity on international levels.  That's the kind of animosity that doesn't go away.

Understand, we share a long and barely guarded border.  We have a no nonsense, not afraid to do something kind of crazy president.  War with us wouldn't be good for you.

And neither would a civil war in the US.  That's what you're helping to facilitate when you pit states against each other.  A war between the States.  Where do you think the refugees from that war are going to go?

Sure the hell ain't Mexico.

And keep in mind, our economies are heavily connected.  If ours crashes, yours crashes.

Not to mention everything else we share.  Ninety percent of Canadian tv is American shows.  Say goodbye to them.  All those Canadians doing their shopping in the US because it's cheaper, say goodbye to that.  Hockey?  About to get a lot smaller.  And who's going to be buying all that stuff you export?  We're your biggest trading partner.

You're playing with fire, Justin.  Stop.

Be a REAL leader and try making peace.  That's what our government needs right now.  Someone outside Washington to say "Hey, guys, we need to work this out and we're buddies so let us help."  We need an intermediary.  At least offer.

During the Canadian elections for prime minister, they ran adds against Trudeau saying he was too young for so much responsibility.  He's proving those ads right.

And that doesn't do either of our countries any good.

Thoughts on Charlottesville

Today in Charlottesville, VA, some white folks protested the removal of Confederate memorabilia and some other not white folks protested the white folks protesting.  Then an idiot drove a car through a crowd.  Sadly, one person died and others were injured.

If we're honest, that's what happened in Charlottesville, VA today.

We don't live in an honest world, however, so here's how it's being reported.

Evil white nationalists promoting racism attack innocent brown people standing up for equality.  All white people are evil and must be destroyed.

Headline from CNN.

Trump's response to the violence tonight was to tweet his condemnation of the racial violence from "many sides" and urge the nation to come together. He's taking a lot of heat for his tweet, particularly the "many sides" part.  No matter your opinion of Trump, he was right to say that because regardless of who was driving that car, the fact is the alt left is just as violent as the alt right.  The only difference is in how the two are treated.  When white folks are racist, we call them out for it.  When any other color is racist, we blame white folks.

The media, naturally, are using this as yet another excuse to call for war on white people.  That's what it is when you use a constant barrage of propaganda (accusations of cultural appropriation, claiming only whites are capable of racism, not showing cases of police brutality when the victim is white, etc) to demonize a group of people.  The people you are attacking are going to be defensive and they will start protecting themselves.  They're not going to march happily into the gas chambers for you no matter whose ancestors did what to whom.

I loathe the KKK but why is it when the KKK get a permit to legally rally and do so peacefully, it's still rightly condemned as hate speech, but when Antifa or Black Lives Matter riot, burn things and attack people, they're not only excused but congratulated?

It's a double standard. Free speech includes everyone even the ones with skin tones and ideas you don't like and VIOLENCE should be equally condemned regardless of the race or religion or sexual preference or political affiliation of the perpetrators.  That this doesn't happen fuels the flames of resentment that keeps hate groups like the KKK, Black Lives Matter and Antifa going.

People are so stupid.

But here's the truth you won't hear on the news.  The KKK no more represents all whites than BLM represents all blacks or Antifa represents all liberals.  The propagandists are hard at work trying to divide us again and they are succeeding.  The only thing that matters now is whether or not enough of us are smart enough to see this for what it is and to come together anyway.

The rich can build fortresses and be safe while they profit off a civil war in America.  You and I can't.  Stop listening to MSM propaganda and stand strong.  Our refusal to play along is the only thing that can save this world and ourselves.
